"Just me." He traced his finger along my jaw line.

I wanted him to kiss me.

"This past week has been exhausting," he said.

"Then maybe we should take a nap."

Professor Hunter's lips curled into a smile. "As you wish." He slowly pulled his tie loose and unbuttoned his dress shirt. He laid both on top of his suit jacket. I would never stop admiring his sculpted torso. He unhinged his belt and pulled it free. He sat down in my chair and leaned over, unlacing his dress shoes.

I bit my lip as I watched him. Unlacing shoelaces shouldn't have been sexy, but everything he did somehow seemed sexual. Hekicked off his shoes and socks and stepped out of his dress pants. Professor Hunter was standing in my dorm room in just his boxers. He folded his pants and draped them on the back of my chair.

"Are you going to join me?" he asked with a smile.

I had been staring. I unzipped and unbuttoned my pants, slid them down my legs, and pulled off my black t-shirt. I was left in just my panties and bra.

He picked up the pint of ice cream from my desk and took a spoonful as his eyes gazed over my body. "Delicious," he said seductively.

I wasn't sure if he was talking about the ice cream or me.

"Get in bed." He put the lid on the ice cream and put it back into the fridge.

I pulled the sheets back, hopped into my bed, and slid all the way over so that he could join me. He climbed in beside me. The twin bed was barely long enough for him and definitely too small for both of us together. He put his head down on the pillow beside me and looked into my eyes.

We stared at each other in silence for a few minutes. Him lying beside me felt so normal and so comforting. The pain in my chest had completely subsided.

"What are you thinking?" he whispered.

"That I'm not that tired." I moved closer and wrapped my legs around him.

"I thought you wanted to nap." He put his hand through my hair, pushing it away from my face. His hands on me made my whole body alert.

"Not anymore."

"Thank God." He pulled me to him and placed a kiss on my lips.

Temptation - Chapter 46

Monday

I groggily opened my eyes. Professor Hunter and I were still intertwined on my bed. I took a deep breath, ensconced by his heavenly scent, then slowly unwound myself from him until his face was a few inches from mine. He looked so peaceful as he slept. I hadn't realized how much pain I was causing him. I ran my fingers down the side of his beautiful face, but he didn't even stir. He had made love to me slowly and gently, but so passionately. His feelings for me hadn't changed at all. And neither had mine. The way he had stared into my eyes as he had made love to me made me feel closer to him than ever.

His words from earlier made me smile. He didn't want me to be with anyone else ever again. I was his. He hadn't said it, but I knew that he loved me. And I loved him. This was real, more real than anything I had ever experienced. I ran my fingers down his neck and traced his clavicle.

He blinked and slowly opened his eyes. "Hey," he said and smiled at me.

"Hey, yourself."

"Were you watching me sleep?"

"Mhm. Not in a creepy way, though."

He laughed. "I didn't think it was creepy until you said that it wasn't. Now I'm not so sure." He reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Your bed is extremely uncomfortable."

"You get used to it."
